Celebrating Women of Color: Ariel Meredith in SI 2009

Wrapping up a week of celebrating women of color in StyleCrave’s model coverage, we end on a high note. Today, we feature the lovely Ariel Meredith, a feature in this year’s Swimsuit Issue by Sports Illustrated. This 22-year-old Louisiana native stands at nearly 5’11″ with a 32-24-34 figure– and a look that earned her a slot in Ford Models and Elite Models’ top tier. While black is beautiful all year long, we pay people of color special tribute in February– and these beautiful models are no exception. We proudly present Miss Ariel Meredith, and we suggest you celebrate her as well in the gallery below.
